I Took a Little Trip
Thursday afternoon, I took the train to Ito City to visit an old friend. We went to a place called The Joint for a craft beer and to talk and listen to music.
Then we ate dinner at a Japanese place called Gyorakutei. It was fabulous! We both ate the same thing.
Friday morning, we took a drive down the coast and went to an onsen. It was a nice place. The pay machine at the entrance was in Japanese, even when you tap English on the screen. The women’s bath area was on the fourth floor with all different indoor and outdoor baths with different kinds of water and temperatures. The men’s was on the third floor.
After that we went to a kaiten sushi place to eat.
Finally we went to Sakura no Sato Park. There are 40 types of cherry trees, with the juugatsu zakura in bloom now.
Saturday morning, we took a hike at Komoroyama.
Mt. Fuji has snow!
We went to a local pizza place, with a great view.
Part of my trip home was on this cute train.
The weather wasn’t very nice, but the visit was great!

Shame about the weather but those amazing views! And some delicious food too. xx
What a wonderful getaway -- all those fun things and a visit with a friend, too. It looks lovely -- everything does, from the views to the terrific looking dinner and sushi spot to the adorable red train. I love that train!
You have a lot of good memories from this 'little trip'. At last, there is some snow on Mt Fuji!
What a wonderful trip!
The red fish for the first day’s meal is Kinmedai.
A specialty of the area your visited. I like it too.
You went to many places in a few days. You have many Japanese friends who love you, including me.🙌
